[QUOTE="donna723, post: 242792, member: 1883"] The inequalities of the 'system' is one of the things I find so frustrating. Not to stand up for 'sex offenders' but many of the ones we have, especially the older ones, did nothing more than have a girlfriend a year or so too young when they were pretty much kids themselves. Two of our very best inmates are both murderers. Both have been in at least twenty years, both are doing life sentences. Both are extremely intelligent, well educated, well respected, and very good workers with responsible positions within the prison. One was involved with drugs when he was very young, in college - was along on a 'bad' drug deal where a man was killed. He, himself, was not the one that did it but all were convicted of murder. The other probably never even had a parking ticket in his whole life but then came home one day to find his wife with another man and just 'snapped'. Both are so far removed now from what happened in the past that it's a total waste of taxpayers money to keep them in prison, but both will be there until they die. If either of them were to ever be released, it wouldn't bother me in the least if they moved in next door to me! But for contrast ... there's been a story in the local news about a DOCTOR who was arrested for writing multiple prescriptions for narcotics in another state. Todays paper says that this DOCTOR had previously been convicted on two charges of first degree murder - killed both his wife and her mother. He served a whole FIVE YEARS, and then was released! And the medical board, in their infinite wisdom, saw fit to restore his license to practice medicine! Go figure! [/QUOTE]
